Why few supported Mayweather fights before he became "Money"

[HEZEKYHWH]

Really?

Evidence it.

No one called Floyd a saint.

But Money Mayweather is way different than Floyd Mayweather.

That last bolded statement of yours is just a round about way of saying the same thing.

HEZEKYHWH completely broke it down for you.

If Floyd had genuine hate for his opponents, he wouldn't show them as much love as he does in EVERY fight after the final bell.

If Floyd and Money were one and the same, that would make no sense. Now would it?

Its called build up. And some just can't accept that they got played.

Its like when the WWF was forced to admit that wrestling was fake and some people couldn't handle it. Some stopped watching. While others convinced themselves that it was a way to dodge legal action and secretly wrestling was real.

There's no difference here. People believe what they allow themselves to believe. Its only the reasons that vary.

Money Mayweather is nothing but a less flagrant version of Ted Dibiase's "Million Dollar Man", but some of you wanted to hate him so badly that it wasn't even hard to sell it to you.

So why stop a good thing?

Floyd gets richer, and many of you get to have something to direct your anger/hate/jealousy/disdain/contempt/prejudice/envy/ at everytime Floyd Mayweather gets any press.

Some people just dont get it. Floyd has been ****Y, BUT AT NO TIME HAS HE BEEN LIKE MONEY MAYWEATHER...

I'm ****y, everyone is to a certain extent.... But seriously no oen can make a credible argument that FLOYD IS LIKE THAT DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

Money MAYWEATHER wants everything about him. People release alot of the stuff he does for charity and whats funny is this. 99% of the interviews I have seen about Floyd outside of the boxing have always been he is a great dude... Down to earth... Garcia stated such a couple months ago, last month he donated a sign and the head guy was like Floyd is the best. He stopped by to train at the gym, and got them a brand new sign for their gym....

I mean a man as ricocckulously coccky as Money Mayweather would never tell you its all entertainment. That he's really a good guy, and that its all about entertainment. You can be at a gym with a guy, but you wont really meet the true guy until its behind the scenes.... Hes super flashy and flamboyant.

I dont think we're on the same page. I understand Money May is a persona that he puts on to sell tickets. I've been around Floyd in person and he turns it off and on. Especially when he spars, he talks heavy shit to his sparring partners in the ring and right after their done hell say something like "Good work Champ". I've been around Floyd when he's in the casinos and he's turned on the money may persona to blackjack dealers. Im just saying that his persona is nothing new, he's always been like that.

gotcha comedian.. I pretty much knew that. So let me clarify....The point is though that the money may persona and the super ****kin heightened level of cocckyness is an ACT....

I think you would agree to that as well...

[Come∂ian]

You know what .. I'll take your word for it because we all know you've been around the man.

However, how long have you been around Floyd?

My point was that Floyd was not letting the media see ANY side of "Money" prior to him going to the WWE.

I remember listening to the guy talk in interviews back in the mid 90's and it was COMPLETELY different.

So while I respect that you have the inside track to validate Floyd's behavior nowadays, let me know if you've been around Floyd back when he turned from amateur to pro and he was a laid back, humble dude.

I doubt it simply because of the hundreds of interviews this guy has given there was never any indication of "Money" or any braggadocio manner.

Naw, I wasnt around then but I personally know Jesse Ravelo, Floyds coach for the Olympics and I've talked to Nate Jones, fought with Floyd in the Olympics, and both spoke of how Floyd ran his mouth alot as a yougin.

Yea, Money May is Floyd on steriods, he puts it on for the public to ignite excitement for fights. Floyds a cool ass laid back guy when no cameras are around. But I've seen him get Money Mayish even when no one was filming.

The person you've just described doen't look to me as if he "puts it on". It looks like a self-satisfied egotist, who is in turn both abusive and condescending to his sparring partners. No NORMAL, decent person would behave like that. The guy is a psychologist's dream.

Don't misunderstand me, I don't want to become involved in a poster ego battle, with each showing off just how much he doesnt know. So.....Goodbye.

Hahahaha ... I got ya ... but its still not the same thing.

My point is made.

And that original point was"

After nearly 100 years of dominating the sport, a Black doing well in boxing isn't making any headlines.

I'm sure we can all agree on that.
